In the video taken at uShaka Marine World, the young woman stands very still, like a pillar, with the fishies circling her, passing between her legs and lurking in the background. A menacing-looking stingray is in the area.

The dame is trying her best not to come close to the fish but is bothered by a fish that has taken a liking to her leg, rubbing itself against the leg and bumping her with its scaly snout.

Woman tells Briefly News that the experience was overwhelming

Khutso Motsheketsheke told Briefly News that the experience was a lot for her.

"Being in the tank exceeded my expectations. I didn't think we would be in contact with the fish nd the stingrays. I feared sharks, but to embarrass myself, I didn't know that stingrays fall under the shark family. I don't think I would have done it if I knew, and I don't think I'll do it again. I would, however, advise people to go because it's interesting," she said.
